Epidemiological analysis of the distribution of antibody to adult T-cell leukaemia-virus-associated antigen: potential horizontal transmission of adult T-cell leukaemia virus.

About two-hundredths of healthy inhabitants within the endemic space of adult T-cell cancer of the blood/lymphoma (ATL) in Nagasaki Prefecture showed a positive protein to adult T-cell leukaemia virus (ATLV)-associated matter (ATLA), whereas none of the inhabitants in a non-endemic space in Aichi Prefecture showed a positive anti-ATLA.

 The age-specific positive rate of anti-ATLA within the endemic space increased with age, particularly in females. 

 The positive rate of anti-ATLA among inhabitants older than forty years was twenty-first in males and one year in females.

 From epidemiological analyses of the mode of anti-ATLA reactivity among married couples and a few members of the family and relatives with positive and negative anti-ATLA, 2 routes of transmission of ATLV were recommended.

 One route is from oldsters to youngsters, either vertically or horizontally, and therefore the different route is horizontal transmission between spouses, particularly from husband to mate. The presence of some vectors of ATLV within the endemic space of ATL is mentioned.
